Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé is in danger of missing the club’s high-stakes Champions League match against Manchester City after he skipped Tuesday’s final training session at Valdebebas.
Reports suggest the French superstar has been managing a muscular problem that surfaced during the club’s defeat to Celta Vigo on Sunday — a game in which Mbappé played all 90 minutes despite discomfort. The 25-year-old also broke his finger in the same match.
According to ESPN, Mbappé will undergo further medical tests to determine whether he can be available for Wednesday’s showdown at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Real Madrid head into the pivotal European fixture in worrying form. Their 2–0 loss to Celta Vigo marked a continuation of their struggles, leaving them with just one win in their last five La Liga matches.
An ESPN report indicates that the club’s leadership is evaluating Xabi Alonso’s position, with the Manchester City result expected to play a key role in determining his future.
